Let the movement finish

The story worth telling

A fast montage can hide the point you are trying to teach. If the explanation is about hand position, frame the hands and leave enough time to see the change. A single well-explained movement is a stronger subject than an entire workout squeezed into a reel.

Three things to capture

1. The starting position
2. One complete controlled repetition
3. A closer view of the cue you explain

Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.

Give the edit a shape

Before you share it

Review the instruction for the intended audience. Avoid implying that one demonstration is suitable for everyone.
